Jet-Set CEO's $3M Koenigsegg Jesko Ticketed in London While Dining Nearby
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A £2.2 million Koenigsegg Jesko hypercar, owned by private jet mogul Ameerh Naran, was slapped with a parking ticket this week after being left on a Kensington street while its owner dined nearby. Naran, the CEO of luxury aviation brokerage Vimana Private Jets, parked the ultra-rare Swedish hypercar on Derry Street, just outside the trendy Dishoom restaurant in West London. Moments later, a Kensington and Chelsea traffic warden issued a bright yellow parking charge notice (PCN), placing it squarely on the carbon-fiber bonnet of the car—an image quickly shared online. With a fine of up to £160 (reduced to £80 if paid within two weeks), the penalty is a small price to pay compared to the Jesko's jaw-dropping $3 million valuation. Powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8, the Jesko produces 1,280 horsepower on standard fuel—or up to 1,600 hp on E85—and is capable of reaching 62 mph in under three seconds. According to his Instagram posts, Naran, 39, was enjoying lunch at the nearby Rooftop Gardens while the parking incident unfolded. Originally from Zimbabwe, the entrepreneur built his jet charter empire after studying automotive design, and later launched his own hypercar company, Naran Automotive. Despite his aviation focus, cars have remained central to Naran's identity. A former aspiring racing driver, he once told Forbes that he dreamed of building supercars since childhood. His clients—ranging from royals to ultra-high-net-worth individuals—spend up to $1 million a month on private travel, and often shop at elite brands like Harrods, Ferrara Diamonds, and Asprey London. This isn't the first luxury car to run afoul of Derry Street's strict parking rules. Comedian Michael McIntyre had his £195,000 Mercedes-AMG GT R towed from the same location in May after parking in a police-only zone. In a city where even multi-million-dollar cars can't escape traffic enforcement, it seems not even the most elite wheels are above the rules. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

Elon Musk's estranged daughter has brutal reaction to Trump feud: ‘I love being proven right'
Elon Musk's estranged daughter appeared to gloat Friday about her billionaire dad's epic public feud with President Trump — saying 'I love being proven right' and cackling with glee on social media. Vivian Wilson, 21 — who vowed to leave the US after Trump was elected president last year — seemingly mocked her tech mogul dad's explosive fallout with his former president ally in an Instagram post. 'I do not want to comment,' she says before howling in a fit of laughter. Advertisement The Tesla CEO and Trump faced off in an ugly verbal spat Thursday after Musk insulted the commander-in-chief's 'big, beautiful bill,' prompting the president to question whether the pair could ever mend their relationship. 3 Elon Musk's daughter Vivian Wilson appeared to mock her dad's explosive feud with the president. Instagram/vivllainous The nasty fight between the world's richest man and the world's most powerful man quickly spiraled — with Musk calling for Trump's impeachment and declaring that the president has links to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Advertisement Wilson's post came as the feud simmered Thursday, but it didn't specifically mention Trump or her father by name. It's captioned, 'I love being proven right.' Wilson, who is transgender, cut ties with the increasingly volatile Tesla founder in 2022 when she filed a petition to change her gender and name. She has previously bashed Trump's 'anti-trans regulations' and called her dad, who supported the president's 2024 campaign, a 'pathetic man-child,' who hasn't been accepting of her gender. 3 Former allies Trump and Musk faced off in an epic public spat Thursday. Advertisement In past interviews, Musk has claimed Wilson — who is one of the billionaire's 14 children — was 'killed by the woke mind virus' and that he was 'tricked' into letting her transition at age 16. 3 Wilson has previously bashed Trump's anti-trans policies and called her dad a 'man child.' Wildfang On Friday, Trump said he has no interest in speaking to Musk after White House aides scrambled to set up a call between the two men.
